ANOTHER CHAPTER.

1t may be remembered that a short time
ago woman was found at the Western
Union office of this city in Mysteries and
being taken before the probate judge was
tried for insanity. She gave her name as
Mrs. Williams, from Mt. Pleasant, Iowa.
She was afterwards married to Robert Blois,
the blind musician formerly at the mu cum
and the couple left the city.
Yesterday Manager Young received the
following message from Hutchinson: "Send
for Robert Blois, musician, involved in de-
spair; contemplating suicide. Signed. Lilly
Blois." The strange wording of the message
attracted Mr.. Youngs attention, and at the
same time very much puzzled him how to
act. He asked that the attention of the
friends of the parties may be called to their
condition, fearing the known oniency
of both may result as the telegram suggests,
in suicide

CHRISTENED ELI.

Mr.. A. 7. Leuright, prominent capitalist
from Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, arrived in
the city yesterday morning. It is his first
visit, and he comes On a prospecting tour.
He expects also to investigate some matters
while in the city. If the result is favorable,
he may be heard of later on in the history of
the city.
Mr.. Leuright says he has often heard of
Wichita during the last few years. Once a
friend of his came through the town in the
days of '72, and soon after saw him and was
enthusiastic in his remarks on the future of
Wichita. Not many weeks after his friend
died in Pittsburg, and he for the time forgot
the western town that had been recommend
ed. In fact he and his friend had decided
to visit Wichita in a certain month and his
friend did before that time. He himself
went along absorbed in his business and
sometime after. During the last five years
he has been constantly in the presence OF
Wichita literature, Wichita talk and occas-
ionally had the advantage of talking to a
man fresh from the town. All the while his
desire to visit the town has increased and at
last he claims it impossible for him to stay
away longer. He packed his grip and bought
ticket for Wichita and stopped not until he
reached the city.
Yesterday he was shown some of the lead
ing streets and he was in no small degree
surprised. The same fact of extreme
business activity caught his eye and
he was lead to remark that be never saw in
a ny western city streets as lively as Main
and Douglas 81 had d up my mind to
see great city, he ezd led, "but never
expected to see such a city as this Look at
these handsome business blocks. Verify they

that fact. The additional fact, of the many
